Hello,
just firing a few question in the hope to move onto this neat installer... 🙂
1. Is there a way to create an MSI package or only exe?
2. where can I find the full syntax/commands etc besides the few exaples?
3. Is there a way to run an NSIS installer in some sort of local/network admin mode so that we can push small installations via the loginscript without the need to give the user admin rights?
4. can I add vbscript into the installer or execute them with some sort of execute command?
I'm supposed to do repackaging of software to silent installations for an app deployment system so I guess this installer would do the job aswell if well scripted?
Thanks for any returned info!

on 1st Q:
NSIS creates an Exe, imho an exe is better than a msi, because you don't have to think about different msiexec versions on the target systems
on 3rd Q:
try to use nopey (you find it in the NSIS Wiki) with the runas command
you can set the user and pwd with a parameter,
so this should do what you want

Quick note on question #4 (VBScripts):
Many Antivirus and/or so-called "Security" software prevents execution of scripts and batch files. Not saying it won't work for what you are trying to achieve, but something to be aware of...

You can put the via NSIS created "Install.exe" in an custom action inside an almost empty MSI package. It is a heavy quest to get this working. I've done it but there is NO easy way to explain this procedure. Dive deep into MSI with ORCA first I would say.
